the nasal cavities is become much thicker, and he walks exceed- 
ing stiffly. Apply the actual cautery to the sores. Give ^ij of 
the sulphate of copper every day, and place a rowel in each 
thigh, with a view to relieve the very great pain and inflamma- 
tion existing in the hocks. 
23 d . — The pulse quicker ; the appetite impaired. Several 
fresh tumours have made their appearance in the thighs. Apply 
the actual cautery to the tumours, and give the sulphate of 
copper as before. 
25///. — No mitigation of symptoms; rowels discontinued; 
hocks fomented ; and 5 iij of the sulphate of copper given every
